Summary

0004364: usb_modswitch and Huawei E173S

Description

Hi,
i've some trouble with this UMTS usb key Huawei E173s, driver in the config file (/etc/usb_modeswitch.d/12d1\:1c0b) was present but the value "TargetProductList=" was incomplete.
By adding the value 1c07 to the string (TargetProductList="1c05,1c07,1c08"
), the UMTS usb was switched to modem but the usb-serial /dev/ttyUSB* wasn't created.

To create the usb-serial i've loaded the kernel module:
modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1c07

but after e reboot the problem appears again, to fix this, i've edit this file:
/etc/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules

by adding the following line at the end:
ATTRS{idVendor}=="12d1", ATTRS{idProduct}=="1c07", RUN+="/sbin/modprobe usbserial vendor=0x12d1 product=0x1c07"

Now the UTMS key was properly detect but we need to modify the ppp chat.tmpl (/etc/ppp/chat.tmpl) file because this key doesn't accept the parameters (OK AT+CGQMIN=1 and OK AT+CGQREQ=1 see /var/log/messages in the additional note field)
The new file should be similar to this:

ABORT BUSY
ABORT ERROR
ABORT 'NO CARRIER'
ABORT 'NO ANSWER'
ABORT VOICE
ABORT 'NO DIALTONE'
ABORT 'NO DIAL TONE'
ABORT DELAYED
REPORT CONNECT
TIMEOUT 10
"" "$ATINIT"
#if $MODEMTYPE == 'hsdpa'
OK AT+CGDCONT=1,"ip","$APN",,0,0
TIMEOUT 60
"" "ATD*99***1#"
#else if $MODEMTYPE == 'cdma'
OK-AT-OK "ATDT#777"
#else
OK "$ATHANGUP"
TIMEOUT 60
"" "$ATDIAL$TELEPHONE"
#end if
CONNECT \d\c
#try
#include "/var/efw/modem/chat.custom.tmpl"
#except
#pass
#end try

Notes
(0007886) luca-endian (developer) 2012-06-01 14:23	probably we need only a package update

(0008030) davide-endian (developer) 2012-08-29 11:19	Should be fixed in efw-network-2.9.9-0.endian33 and usb_modeswitch-data-20110714-1.endian3, but must be tested with the key.
